That's why I like book club because I read books I wouldn't normally read. I can't wait to see what fun things you do for your meeting. You're brave, jumping right in there and hosting so soon. Good for you!

I really need to start a book club board on Pinterest. I think I'lll do that now! ;P

Thanks so much for linking to Literary Friday. You've made my day, Stacey!

A bunch of us teachers used to have a book club years ago and it was such fun! Then NCLB and all the testing kicked in and nobody had any time for it...Boo! As long as there's a book, food, and great conversation involved, you're set!

Please keep us posted on the titles you read--I'm always looking for the next great book. :-)

Stacey, that sounds so fun! I'm not in a book club but I am in a couples supper club which is a lot of fun, too. You've got some great decorating ideas going on there for when it's your turn. Love the books tied with twine! Super cute!

I am not currently in a book club but I would love to join someday! I love the fruit skewers! So easy to pick up and munch on! I will look forward to reading your book club post! Thanks for linking up today too! Susan

I love book club! We have one in our neighborhood and it is always great. The good thing about the book club is exactly what you said...it gets you to read books you normally wouldn't read! I'm glad you had a wonderful time and your party will be a success! I hosted one in January (before my blog) and found a cute little card generator that lets you make cards (which I used for food labels) to look like card catalog cards. Email me (benitagroberts@gmail.com) if you are interested in that and I can mail you the link.

I've always wanted to be in a Book Club, seems it would be a lot of fun! So what was the book about? I've been doing a lot of reading this summer and need some new ideas. Can't wait to see pictures as you host the club! Looks like you have some great inspiration brewing! :) ~Have a great weekend, Rhonda

Oh my goodness, what pretty ideas! I used to belong to a book club, it was with my besties, though. We ended up getting vey off topic sometimes. I think this will be fun and you will get to know some new friends. Fabulous!

I have always thought about joining a book club, but I just never took that first step. It always seemed like such a great way to meet new people that all share a love of reading. I'm glad your first meeting went well and how fun to be hosting the next meet up. I think that's awesome!

I love your inspiration pictures. That wreath is amazing and I love both ideas with the books on the table. I can't wait to see what you decide to do. Have a lovely weekend... :)

I love the idea of joining a book club! I can totally see how it would encourage you to stretch your wings and maybe read something you normally wouldn't. Love those inspiration pics. I have one of those plates that you can write on and weave ribbon through and haven't used it in years (I forget what they're called...maybe a "dress me up plate?") Anyway, I should get it back out for special occasions. At least your sweet pets greet new people. My Holly runs and hides under the bed any time someone comes over. :)

I just know everyone is going to enjoy Book Club at your house next week! Love the ideas you tagged on Pinterest. You have such a lovely home and a sweet welcoming spirit that you can't go wrong in any way.Mary Alice
